Loved this recipe, it's so easy and my family likes this scampi version better than our favorite Italian restaurant. Added a little more garlic and I followed others suggestions by adding some Old Bay and Parmesan. May try the Italian breadcrumbs next time too.

Alfredo Sauce

Reviewed: Nov. 14, 2009

We really liked this sauce, though I didn't have any heavy cream so I used half & half instead. To thicken it up towards the end I added an additional 1/2 cup of finely grated parmesan to the sauce and a little Wondra flour. Sprinkling with garlic salt to taste made it perfect.

Country Apple Dumplings

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2009

I love this apple dumpling recipe. When I make it, I cut the sugar to 3/4 cup and it's still plenty sweet. Not as good with Sprite. Mountain Dew is the key! The recipe is always a hit and all my guests ask for the recipe. So easy too!

Spanish Flan

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2009

Got rave reviews from my coworkers...some who never liked flan before. One asked if she could lick the plate and all asked for the recipe. I did follow some of the other reviewers suggestions by baking in a water bath and adding 1/4 cup water to caramelized sugar to create more glaze. Also, I did not refrigerate overnight before turning on to a serving dish. I was worried the sugar sauce would harden too much to the bottom of the glass pie dish and not release well. I just let it cool a little after baking and then turned it gently out. It is very sweet so you can adjust the sweetened condensed milk ratio to taste a little.

Spinach Salad With Berries and Curry Dressing

Reviewed: Jul. 13, 2009

My husband and I loved this, kids did not(of course!). Didn't have any Dijon so I substituted spicy brown mustard instead and it still came out great. The dressing is delicious. I'm making this again tonight as I have lots of strawberries and blueberries on hand.

Baby Back Ribs

Reviewed: Feb. 1, 2009

These ribs are soooo easy and soooo good too! I also drain the excess liquid after baking, reglaze with additional BBQ sauce and broil for a few minutes to carmelize. Always a hit at my house and especially for football parties.

Tilapia Pitas

Reviewed: Mar. 15, 2007

In a word...yum! I switched the recipe up just a little bit by lightly breading the tilapia with homemade bread crumbs for a nice crunch. I served the fish "soft taco" style in a flour tortilla and left the anchovies out of the sauce. This meal was a real hit at my house and my visiting friend raved too.

Cottage Cheese Chicken Enchiladas

Reviewed: Aug. 5, 2006

My husband absolutely loved these enchiladas! I did it the speedy way and used 2 cans of Costco/Kirkland white meat chicken breast and only one small can 4.5 oz of chopped green chillies. The rest of the recipe, I followed to the letter except for adding a can of sliced black olives over the top. So easy to make too. My 5 year old ate every bit and told me, "I like these mom!" I followed another reviewers advice and let the dish set for 5 minutes before serving...not so messy that way. We're eating the left-overs tomorrow for dinner...YUMMY :) When I have more time, I use chicken pulled from a rotisserie hen. Makes this recipe even more delicious!
